Madam Speaker, as we prepare to celebrate Father's Day this Sunday, I would like to take this opportunity to salute all the fathers, grandfathers, and great-grandfathers in my riding of Longueuil—Charles-LeMoyne and across the country. Father's Day is an opportunity for all of us to express our appreciation to the incredible dads and father figures in our lives, those who offer guidance, support and love in immeasurable ways. As I get older, I reflect on all the countless ways my father always put my brothers and me first, from volunteering for my Girl Guide troop, to showing me how to put a worm on a hook, to making the best campfires and letting me hang out at the fire station. While I was running for the nomination as candidate 10 years ago, my dad was undergoing treatment for throat cancer, yet he still ran around collecting support for me. I do not get to spend as much time with my dad as I wish I could, but he should know that he will always be my hero. To the dads in my life, my father, Dave; my father-in-law, Gary; my husband, Chris; my son, Patrick; and any day now, my son, Jonathan, I wish a happy Father's Day.
